Expeditions and Trips

Fastnet Race photography at the Fastnet Rock July 23-27 (Fastnet Race start is July 22 in Cowes)

On July 23 we will join a 50 foot sailing boat in Baltimore Ireland and station ourselves by the Fastnet Rock to photograph the boats rounding. Limited to just 4 places the boat will be our home and shooting platform for the duration. Depending on weather we will go to an anchorage or small harbour in the hours of darkness, but the idea is to spend as much time at the Rock as possible. The boat will have a professional skipper in charge.

Price £1,800 per person which includes the accommodation onboard in a shared cabin. Not included is flight to Cork

Falkland Islands photography adventure November 4 - 18 2023

In November I will lead a trip in the Falkland Islands. We will join Skip Novak's latest expedition vessel Vinson of Antarctica for 2 weeks exploring the amazing and varied wildlife sites around this sub Antarctic archipelago. Penguins, seals, albatross, dolphins and hopefully whales and orcas, plus amazing landscapes and seascapes make this a very special place to visit.

You don't have to be a photographer to enjoy this cruise, it is open to everyone and is a great opportunity to see a remote part of the world. Onboard are the 3 professional sailing crew and a very experienced local Falklands guide that knows the best wildlife sites around the coast. Limited to just 6 people.

Orcas & Humpbacks from Tromso, Norway. October 21-28

On this trip we explore the fjords close to Tromso photographing the whales each day and anchor in evening in remote coves away from all light pollution and hopefully see the northern lights. Last year at times we had more than 20 whales around us, both Orcas and Humpbacks as they follow the herring into the fjords. This is an incredible experience. Limited to just 6 guests, this trip is sold out, inquire for 2024. Previous trip gallery here
